vBulletin Modifications
I'm sure some of you will already know me, because of my most enjoyable hobby to administrate vBulletin
Boards. I first got in touch with the software by Jelsoft at the D2Network
where i got moderator, and later then administrator. Thats where I started to change the code of the software
and also got in touch with PHP itself.
Because of private differences with the staff during that time I left that site, and founded a site called
Civ3D, where i could start to hack up every single line in vB's code. Since that time, i'm a regular member at
vBulletin.org.
On 24. July 2002 i got an official staffmember there, doing a job as moderator on the codingspecific forums, and since
10. March 2003 i got promoted to fill in the job as webmaster and administrator, which is a job i enjoy a lot.
Installing my modifications is your own responsibility. I won't give private support here. If you have trouble
somewhere take a look at the supportthread on vbulletin.org. The hacks should work with other vBversions (minor versions)
as well, the mentioned version is just the version it was written for.
All links go to vbulletin.org, to prevent unlicensed Users downloading my hacks!! Just buy the software,
you won't be disappointed!

Reported Posts create a new thread in specified forum
|
As requested several times, this Hack creates a new Thread whenever a Post has been reported.
The first Post contains the content of the reported post, as well as the reason.
The report emails are sent out as well, so this is just an addition to the vb function, not a new way of reporting.
Enjoy

Message Editing Hierarchy
|
Hi,
Have you ever noticed that Admins and Super Moderators can edit/delete/peak everyone's messages in your forum? This also applies to Moderators for the board they are assigned.
Normally this shouldn't be a problem, but on bigger sites with a lot of Mod's it could lead to problems sometimes, so that's the reason, why i ported over Logicians vb2 hack, changed it to use actual vb3 variables and permission systems.
So great Thanks to my Pal Logician, who's intro post has been rewritten by me as well ;)
After applying the hack default editing permissions in your board will be changed like this:- Moderators: Can edit everyone's posts in the forum they're assigned, UNLESS author is another Moderator, SuperMod or Admin.
- SuperModerators: Can edit everyone's post in all boards UNLESS author is another SuperMod or Admin.
- Admins: Can edit eveyone's post in all boards UNLESS user is another Admin
- SuperAdmins: Can edit eveyone's post in all boards (Superadmins are defined in config.php)
So the hack will apply a "message editing hierarchy" in your board and everyone will be able to edit messages for ones who are below him and cant touch messages of his superiors..If they try, they'll get no permission page. This will apply for editing the messages, deleting the message via edit message or just peaking inside it. But be warned: messages can still be deleted via "Delete Thread / Posts" menu..
The hack is VERY EASY to install with 1 single modification and will work in any vbulletin3 versions I know..
If you install the hack, please click install, thank you..
Enjoy!

[DISABLE] - vB Code
|
This hack creates a new vb-tag disable. Vb-Tags surrounded by
won't be parsed, also smilies won't be parsed as well.
It's a small hack, so i cannot say for sure if it works properly on all tags, but the basic ones :)
Version: 1.00 Gamma
Well, not more to say:
[b]Test:)[/b]
[php]echo 'Hello';[/php]
Thanks to Chen for the idea of this tag :)
Known Bugs:
Nested Tags: [php][disable]echo 'Hello';[/php][/disable]

Forums arranged in columns on forumhome
|
As requested several times, this hack allows you to arrange forums on forumhome in xx columns instead of just one per row as it is in standart vb3.
Look at the screenshot to know what i mean :)
The design is changeable in the templates of course :)
I've tested it, and it should work, but as i don't use it myself, i cannot do a longtime test, so if you find any bugs, report them :)
You can apply the changes to forumdisplay as well if wanted :)

Prevent Doubleposting
|
When a User posts into a thread where he already has the lastpost, no new post will be added. The lastpost of him will be edited and the new text is put after his first message, attachments will be added to the old post as well.
This will be done until the old post is older than 1 hour (you can change this timespan yourself:))
by changing $do_bump in the script, you can define wether the post's time will be altered or not.
Enjoy, and don't forget to click install :)
Notice: If you have installed the Proxy ip to real ip conversion or Proxy Detector v3.1 Hack, then you should probably take a look at this post.
